MINISTRY / Raising up house church leaders

316NOW's liaison, Barnabas, writes this post to introduce you Brother Yìzé.   Yìzé has been devouring as many of our online courses as his time allows. But he is not only a learner; he is a servant-doer.

Brother Yìzé

Brother Yìzé has signed up for almost every Bible institute class he could. He attends my online worship service every Sunday. He has listened to every one of my sermons live and then listened to the recordings. After that, he shares them. 

He came to faith in his 40s. Now, ten years later, he continues to celebrate his spiritual rebirth and the freedom that Jesus has given him from the burden of guilt that he used to stagger under. 

Before the Spirit led him to our Bible institute, Yìzé was spiritually abused by members of a church. He felt disillusioned. The peace he had faded.  

After he left that church, he sought the truth of the gospel on the internet. There the Holy Spirit led him to 316NOW. He found the banquet of God's grace in Jesus. He hungrily began to study God's Word with us.

Brother Yìzé is more than an eager student. He is busily sharing all that he is learning with those God brings into his life. And God has given him an eager audience. He works in a nursing home filled with needy souls.

Training house church leaders

316NOW teaches Chinese Christians about God's grace in Jesus through our online classes. But we are not satisfied only to teach those truths. Our goal is to equip those believers to share gospel truths with others and to live out those truths as they shepherd people for the Chief Shepherd.
